 In this month, we have continued our work in the field. Farmers are encouraged and willing to do their best. We had group discussion, teaching lessons on family planning, personal health and hygiene and discuss about how we can get better income by doing small business. Continuing to house visiting and encourage farmers.

Success Story:

Pathwari is now 58 years old. This family is not educated and struggled with their own strength. When we started TCD class they rejected and denied to join. He said what kind of lesson I need in this old age. But now I started house to house visitation and I taught them clearly about TCD lesson related to sanitation, health care, income generation, disease prevention and nutritional food etc. They are very happy and expected more TCD classes and said really this program is important for us. Please sister come and teach our backward community people.

TCD Change Our Family

I am  Niloy Malo, member of Lotus TCD(Transformational Community Development) group at Ghoraghat, Dinajpur district, Bangladesh. I read in grade seven. We are two brothers and sister. We do not have land for vegetable cultivation. My parents are working a small work in this village. We have 5 members in our family. Before join my family with TCD we were very poor. I saw everyday my parents do lot of quarrel. But after having teaching of TCD my parent’s attitude changed and we are having peaceful situation our families.  I am taught many subjects which helped in my education. I have learned how to take care and keep good health from TCD groups.

There is some uncultivated land near hour house which is belongs to our neighbors.  I helped my father to plant papaya tree and vegetable garden in that land near our house. After few months the papaya tree grow-up and have flower and fruits.

Now our family do not need to buy vegetable from market, also I distribute to our neighbors. We get vitamin, mineral and others which we need. I give thanks to TCD group for given me a wonderful opportunity to learn and utilize in my life.

My family also taking all decision together. Before we took loan from micro credit but now we start small savings.
